Japanese media reported on November 28 that Yui Niigaki will star in the movie "GHOSTBOOK Demons and Ghosts". It was her first film in four years of marriage.
The film was directed by the 57-year-old famous Japanese director Takashi Yamazaki, and this time after a gap of 13 years, after a collaboration between Yui Niigaki and director Takashi Yamazaki in the 2009 film BALLAD Anonymous Love Song.
The film, which will be released to the public on July 22, 2022 and is currently being filmed, is a monster movie for little kids and young people alike.

Yui Niigaki plays the female lead in the play, playing a 15-year-old castle juniper. Yui Niigaki said happily: "You can often catch insects on the shooting scene, and everyone can chat and joke together, and it feels like you are back in childhood."
Director Takashi Yamazaki commented on the work and said that it was a live-action version of the fairy tale "Don't Follow All Day" series popular with elementary school students. "In order to fulfill their wishes, the children and the teachers who are involved in it have embarked on a great adventure with various yokai in the other world. Almost the entire story is another world. Because the epidemic affected the shooting, the director said: "Our actors and staff are very hard, everyone is really working hard."
Another star in the film is the actor Ryunosuke Kamiki, who is also a powerful Japanese actor.

"Because it was filmed during the epidemic, there were many restrictions on the scene, so there are many things that are confusing not only for adults but also children, but also for children," Niigaki said. In this case, in fact, it is more testing of everyone's patience and acting skills."
During the filming process, Yuki Niigaki was very attentive to the children who performed together. The children said gratefully, "Sister Yuki Niigaki is very gentle, she is a very good person."
